Shri Ram Mandir, popularly known as Ayodhya Ram Mandir, is a Hindu temple located in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, India (Bharat). As the name suggests, the temple is dedicated to Lord Shri Rama and is believed to have been built at Ram Janmabhoomi (the birthplace of Lord Shri Rama). This Ram Temple reflects the cultural and spiritual heritage associated with Lord Rama and holds immense cultural and religious significance for the Hindus. India’s greatest strength lies in the idea that no single religious, linguistic, ethnic, or social identity forms the basis of our nation, which requires vigilance on our part to avoid the problematic fusion of religion and the state. Today 22nd January 2024 is the day for the temple consecration ceremony. It’s a proud moment not only for Indians but for everyone globally, as we say वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम | Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam – The World is One Family! And we bow to Lord Rama.   May we also ask you to bless this occasion with your kind wishes!   With joy, Team PackagingConnections!   LATEST NEWS LUMENE Collaboration strengthens the role of circularity in cosmetics packaging with UPM BioVerno and UPM Raflatac ForestFilm A holistic approach to sustainable packaging takes LUMENE closer to its sustainability goals in close-knit collaboration with UPM Biofuels and UPM Raflatac.
